独叶草属的胚胎学及其系统学意义

独叶草属的胚乳发育为五福花型,其早期分化属细胞型;胚胎发育为石竹型下的独叶草亚型;珠 被内层的部分细胞形成栅栏组织状,最后消失或近于消失;反足细胞宿存,部分不育大孢子宿存并和部 分珠心组织一起形成珠孔塞状结构。这些性状表明它与星叶草属间的相似性要大于与毛茛目其它成员 间的相似性。     

独叶草的根和节部及叶的解剖学研究

报道了独叶草根、节部和叶的剖解学特征。这些器官在解剖学上表现出的突出点是：根具２个以上的根毛区（与星叶草机相同）,中有少量的次生生长,皮层细胞中具内生真菌;变态叶的叶迹或为单迹单维管组织束,或为单迹２维管组织束,或２迹在向皮层外部延伸过程中合并为具２条维管组织束的单迹;叶柄维管束不存在厚壁的维管束鞘,且在由基部向顶部延伸的过程中常发生复杂的分枝及汇合;叶片具有同形的叶肉植物,叶脉维管束鞘具２层细胞     

星叶草属的核形态及其系统位置

本文研究了星叶草属的核形态。其间期核和前期染色体分别为简单染色中心型和中间型;中期染色体较小,长度介于3.00μm到1.20μm之间;核型公式为2n=30=22m+8sm。其明显很高的染色体基数以及其它退化和特化的形态学性状,表明该属是一个孑遗的古多倍体类群。该属与独叶草属在间期核形态、前期染色体形态以及中期染色体的大小和形态方面极为相似。结合其它方面的资料,本文认为星叶草属和独叶草属有较近的亲缘关系,支持将它们一起置于星叶草科的观点。     

基于形态学资料星叶草属系统位置的探讨

基于以往的形态学研究资料,对星叶草属与毛茛目其它成员进行了比较。结果表明,该属在一些基本的或原始的性状上与其它毛茛目成员相似,特别是它与毛茛科一些植物幼苗问的相似性表明,这个属应该属于毛茛目的成员,而且有可能通过幼态成熟的方式起源于前毛茛目植物。星叶草属与其它毛茛目成员问的区别,尤其是在维管系统和胚胎发育方面的区别表明,星叶草属在毛茛目内发生以后,可能是沿着一条特化和减化的途径发展的。     

Comparative Anatomical Studies on Vessel Elements of Chinese Ranunculaceae

The vessel elements in 77 species of 36 genera of Chinese Ranunculaceae were studied. The vessel elements of Ranunculaceae could be divided into primitive and more specialized groups on the basis of their morphological characters through clustering analysis. The most primitive type of the vessel elements was seen in Asteropyrum, and some vessel elements were considered more primitive, as in Paeonia, Trollius, Actaea, Helleborus, Souliea, Calathodes, Beesia, Caltha, Coptis, Kingdonia, Circaeaster, Adonis, Hepatica, than others. There was a marked difference between Paeonia and other genera of Ranunculaceae. The vessel elements of Paeonioideae and Helleboroideae with follicles were more primitive than Ranunculoideae with achenes. In Thalictroideae, .the vessel elements of Thalictrum with achenes were more specialized than other genera with follicles. All these findings coincided with the evolution of fruits. The character of evolution of vessel elements ran parallel with that of other parts of plant (flower, carpel, petiole, venation). The features of vessel elements in the same genus were at similar evolutional level, however, some difference between species do exist.

Morphological Studies on Circaeaster agrestis Maxim. (1) Process of Embryolo gical Development

The present paper aims at discovering the characters of embryological development of Circaeaster agrestis, which makes up a monotypic genus, Circaeaster, to establish the phylogenetic relationships of the genus. The different opinions on its systematic position among botanists are briefly explained. The embryological studies show that the most important advanced characters of the genus are as follows. The ovule is amphitropous, unitegmic and tenuinucelar; the embryo sac formation is in accordance with the Polygonum type; endosperm formation is of the cellular type, the primary endosperm nucleus dividing to form two cells and the first wall vertical; embryo formation follows the variation of the Caryophyllad type; at the early stage of development of embryo, the integument has been already atrophied and at last disappeared, so that the seed coat is absent in the mature fruit. On the basis of the embryological and some morphological evidence, the authors consider that a close relationship between the genus and Ranunculaceae and its related families seems to be unlikely. The affinities of the genus Circaeaster are still uncertain.     

Chromosome observations of three ranunculaceous genera in relation to their systematic positions

1. The present paper describes the observations of chromosome numbers and karyomorphology of 2 species of 2 endemic genera and I endemic species of Chinese Ranunculaceae: Asteropyrum peltatum (Franch.) Drumm et Hutch. 2n=16, x=8; Kingdonia unifolia Balf. f. et W. W. Sm. 2n=18, x=9 and Calathodes oxycarpa Sprague 2n=16, x=8. The chromosome counts of three ranunculaceous genera are reported for the first time. 2. The morphylogical, palynological and cytological date in relation to the systematic postition of Asteropyrum, Kingdonia and Calathodes within the family Ranunculaceae are diseussed and resulted in following conclusions: (1). On the basis of the basic number x=8 in Asteropyrum, it is further confirmed that this genus is distinct from the r elated genera such as Isopyrum, Dichocarpum and other allied taxa. The comparison of Asteropyrum with Coptis shows that they are identical in short chromosomes, with magnoflorina and benzylisaquinodine type of alkaloides, but different from coptis in the chromosome numbers (T-type), pantocolpate pollens, united carpels and the dorsi-ventral type of petioles. In view of these fundamental morphological and cytological differences, Asterop yrum is better raised to the level of Tribe. However Asteropyrum and Coptis may represent two divaricate evolutional lines of Thalictroideae. (2). The systematic position of the genus Kingdonia has been much disputed in the past. We support the view of Sinnote (1914), namely, the trilacunar in leaf traces “the ancient type”, appeared in the angiosperm line very early, while the unilacunar of Kingdonia may be derived from the trilacunar. On the basis of the chromosome numbers and morphylogical observation, the present writer accept Tamura’s and Wang’s treatment by keeping Kingdonia in Ranunculaceae instead of raising it to a family rank as has been been done by Forster (1961). Kingdonia and Coptis are similar in having short chromosome with x=9, but with one-seeded fruits; therefore it is suggested that placed into Thalictroideae as an independent tribe, indicating its close relationship with Coptideae. (3). Comparing with its allies, Calathodes being with out petals, seems to be more primitive than Trollius. But Calathodes differs from Trollius with R-type chromosomes in having T-type chromosome with x=8 and subterminal centromere. Those characteristics show that it is very similar to the related genera of Thalictroideae. But as Kurita already pointed out that most speci es of Ranunculus have usually large long chromosomes but some species have compar ativelly short chromosomes, therefore we regard T-type and R-type chromosomes appear independently in different subfamilies of Ranunculaceae. According to Tamura, G alathodes seems to be closely related to Megaleranthis, because of the resemblance in follicles. But due to lack of cytological data of the latter genus, the relationship between the two genera still is not clear pending further studies. From the fact that the morphology and chromosomes of the Calathodes differs from that of all other genera of the Helleboroideae, we consider Calathodes may form an independent tribe of its own with a closer relationship withTrollieae.9841     

独叶草叶宏观形态性状的变异式样的初步研究

根据独叶草分布区内 8个居群的叶的 8个宏观性状在散点图上的表现 ,探讨了独叶草的形态变异式样。结果表明 ,独叶草在叶宏观性状上表现出了一定的变异性 ,这种变异性表现在不同居群间及由不同居群组成的区域上 ,但在居群间或由不同居群组成的区域间在性状上有不同程度的重叠。     

独叶草叶片性状表型多样性研究

独叶草是特产于中国的一种珍稀濒危植物.为研究独叶草自然居群的叶片形态变异特征及影响因素,选取分布于陕西、四川、甘肃的9个自然居群,对独叶草叶片的叶面积、叶柄长、总齿数、末级叶脉数、盲脉数、网结脉数等指标进行统计分析.结果表明:(1)独叶草叶片各属性间存在显著相关性,个别性状表现出与地理位置的相关性.(2)主成分分析显示独叶草的末级叶脉数、叶面积、总齿数对变异有较大贡献,而网结脉贡献很小.(3)独叶草叶片性状居群间变异程度大于居群内,其中盲脉数量在各个居群间变异程度最大,而末级叶脉数为最稳定的性状.(4)将本研究中形态变异结果与前期的遗传分析结果对比分析认为独叶草形态变异主要来自生态环境,而非遗传组成.(5)独叶草居群的形态及遗传变异聚类结果都显示独叶草形态变异并不具有地理格局规律,可能由于地质历史变化打断了独叶草原本连续的分布区,遗传保守性使其仍然保持分布区断裂前的遗传特性,但其表型随着生境的变化表现出可塑性.

Open dichotomous venation in the leaves ofUtricularia striatula (Lentibulariaceae)

The open dichotomous pattern of venation in the leaves ofUtricularia striatula is described in detail and compared withCircaeaster andKingdonia. Similar traits of dichotomous venation occur in other species ofUtricularia and may be due to reduction.Studies on IndianUtricularia, 3.     

Floral development of Kingdonia (Ranunculaceae s. l., Ranunculales)

The flower of Kingdonia has a terminal position, thus the rhizome is sympodial. The floral organs initiate in spiral phyllotaxis. The androecium is centripetal in initiation but the sterile stamens are retarded in development compared with the fertile ones. The apex of the young carpel does not participate in the conduplication. The floral organs have single vascular traces and unilacunar nodes.The study was supported by the National Nature Science Foundation of China (No. 30370095 and 30130030).

星叶草叶脉序的形态学及其系统学意义

在星叶草叶二叉分枝脉序中,网结脉中2条完全汇合叶脉与靠近脉中完全分离叶脉间未发现任 何形式的维管束汇合的中间类型,相反观察到了网结脉中不同程度的连接脉退化的痕迹,因此网结脉不可能由靠近脉形成;盲脉的出现与齿的退化、网结脉中连接脉的间断及非网结脉由分枝处间断等相关;上述事实表明星叶草叶的二叉分枝脉序应为一减化性状。     

Studies on Morphology of Kingdonia uniflora Balfour f. et W. W. Smith. III. The Morphology and Anatomy of Flowers,Fruits and Seeds

In the present paper, the morphology and structure of the flower, fruit and seed of Kingdonia uniflora are reported. Each part of the flower is usually indefinite and is spirally arranged. The venation of the tepals is open-dichotomous and classified into three types. There are two types of the stamens, which have a solitary bundle; the sterile stamens bear nectaries in the ventral furrows of the apex, and the pollen sacs of the fertile ones are lateral-extrose. The carpel is differentiated into three parts, and is not completely closed in flower, which represents a half-opened type and is simillar to that of Coptis. The fruit is an achene. The embryo is at the stage of proembryo when the fruit is mature. The endosperm is copious. In this paper, some problems concerning morphological evolution are also discussed.     

Anatomical Studies on Hypocotyl of Circaeaster

The stem of Circaeaster agrestis Maxim. is very short but the length of hypocotyl is comparatively long, almost occupying the whole length of the plant. This tender hypocotyl is mainly supported by the thickening of cuticle on the outer wall of the epidermal cell and the primary xylem in the center. Between primary xylem and primary phloem there are 2–3 layers of parenchymatous cells, regularly or irregularly arranged, but no cambial zone can be recognized. The transition region where root and stem meet showed no evidence of twisting, splitting or inversion of the strands in the primary vascular tissues which are common in most of the dicots. The extending cotyledon traces differentiate directly from the parenchymatous cells which locate on the outside of the poles of primary xylem. The first and the second leaf traces are organized in the middle of the primary phloem.
